hi guys can u help me out with my little concern, my navigational keys, windows button, ok button in the front suddenly stopped working, before it was working i tried to flashed new roms, cleaned my board but still no avail, a tech told me might be flex issue.. what do u think?
I think he is right
Maybe... Maybe not... why dont disassembly it by yourself.. and see if the pad is not dirty... you can do it for free or go to the tech and make it for some bucks.

hi there!,my tytn worked great for over one year (never dropped,treated like a king;p) till yesterday ,all front buttons except d-pad just stop working, at first i have done HR but it didnt solve the problem then i reflashed device with several roms and still buttons dont work (yeah they work once for about 10s) ,so it makes my device rather useless as a phone
it looks for me like a hardware problem but i am not sure what really is going on and if it is possible to fix it somehow.
maybe someone has a solution for that?
any help will be appreciated

Quick question......you say you performed a hard reset?? This action requires you to use the two front soft buttons and the stylus...therefore those buttons must have worked??
I suggest you try flashing a new ROM to the device and seeing if this remedies the problem?
i used clear storage, but anyway first i used black satin then reflashed to schaps and then to new Pays 6.1 rom and buttons still dont work,so for me it doesnt look like problem with a rom
yeah
softkeys works when i perferm HR ,i checked it right now,but still they are useless
I have the same issue, the buttons work sporadically across several roms, including the official release... I too, have determined that it is a hardware problem... I am sending mine back for warranty repair, I just hate to be without it for any length of time... I also have the screen problem, where it fades to white and sometimes a soft reset doesn't work to bring it back to a visible state...
lol
it back to work all buttons works
Hello, what should I do? My front buttons sometimes dont work. I tried to flash official HTC rom, but it still doesnt work. But when I pres some of the left side button, temporarely the front buttons work. Have anybody some suggestions?
I have the same problem - front buttons "drop out". The only way to "re-initialise" them is to use the scroll wheel on the left hand side of the device.
It's definitely not Rom dependent. I've tried multiple roms (the official, Schaps (current), Faria, Shamanix, etc.) and it happens on all of them, so it's obviously a hardware issue. Not sure if there's a script that can be written to check and see if the keys are active, and if not, activate them.
Said to be BIG problem and possible onset of the dreaded WHITESCREEN SYNDROME....
Do a search on the forum and you might find out more...
Cheers...
I have exactly the same problem. The weird thing is that all LEDs work as expected, even the touchscreen works, but none of the buttons do, nor the ones on top neighter the ones on the bottom ... that's uncool :-(
i had the exact same problem, and in fact, its back again now because i didnt fix it properly
its to do with a loose d-pad connector. unfortunately, it involves opening up your handset, right down to the screen and reseating the d-pad connector and putting a small piece of foam or other plastic to keep it in place
good luck
Yeah, I get the whitescreen happening as well - but I thought that was a separate issue. If they are the same thing then I'll do the fix because I have the link to the whitescreen fix. Will post it when I get home

I just did this mod, but went all out. I had the exact same things happening to me as the original poster. I had replaced the cable between the screen and main body of the phone from a broken jasjam, and that didnt fix it. I had opened it many times to try and reset connectors without much luck.
After reading the thread linked by the above poster, i opened it up and put a piece of foam where the O.P said, but i also place a piece just below it, and on the cable connection to the screen. That was really loose and when i moved it, it seemed to cause the white screen errors also.
Further, i placed a bit on the long connector back in the main phone.
Working 100% now, no problems with front keys. Heres hoping i dont get the problem back in 2 days!! ill let you know. I just need this baby to hang on till the Touch Pro makes it to Australia.
I might give it a go - the white screen is becoming more of an issue for me now. The buttons have long been a problem and I need to fix it.
I'm also hanging for when the Touch Pro arrives in Aus
Recently I began to notice a problem with my phone. Whenever I have the keyboard slid out the touch screen is almost non-responsive. So over the past few days I've tried observing what the exact problem is and I think it could be the cable/ribbon that connects the touch screen to the keyboard. I'll have to tilt the screen back and forth before it will actually recognize me touching it. And I've noticed when I rub that ribbon it seems to work. There's also a crease in the ribbon where it folds on it when you close it. I believe this is the problem but I'm not sure and I want any advice/tips I can get. If it is the cable can you order a new one and replace it yourself?
Thanks in advance
Any ideas anyone? I cant get it to half work so I can text and stuff but I have to press it hard and it still wont work at times so something somewhere or another is wrong.

Flash the stock ROM and SPL, and do a warranty exchange. This isn't a device you want to open up unless you really know what you're doing and are certain of the issue. If you really want to give it a go, then just buy a non-functioning unit from eBay to use for parts. They can normally be had for less than $40.
Wow, I cant believe that I finally found someone with the same problem as I have.
At first I thought that it was a software issue and I reloaded the software on my device.
The screen responds to presses with the keyboard in, but extended it doesnt respond and only the external keyboard works.
So to type a nice long sms I would have to start it on my display, flick out the keyboard to carry on and then flick it back in before I could press send or anything.
How frustrating.
But I did a test now and flicking the keyboard out and then slowly slowly pushing it back in I can get to a stage where both the external keyboard and screen responds at the same time again.
Definitely a ribbon problem or something.
Only had this phone for a few months now and if it already doing this then I am not feeling too obtimistic about its future.
Well, time to take it in for a warranty repair. I wonder how much greaf I am in for now.
Time to pull out my awesome trusty Artemis out the cuboard.

I had a friend that had this problem with his TP2 which I've successfully repaired. First thing if you want to do it yourself, go to youtube and look for the Rhodium disassembly video (this will help you a lot). It is not difficult to change any parts in the phone provided that you proceed with caution and take the necessary precautions.
If you are afraid or have never opened up a phone to fix parts, then I would suggest to send it to HTC - this would be devastating if you managed to break up the motherboard by mistake or any other parts in the process of fixing the flex cable.
Tripp --
Did you ever find resolution to your problem? Recently my phone started having the same problem, which I originally thought was related to messing up the calibration file when I put loaded xdandroid GBX0A.
However, it sounds like my problem is pretty similar to yours -- touchscreen works fine when the keyboard is closed, but when it is open it only registers on the bottom of the screen -- which is actually useful in some sense because I can still hit the soft keys in the messaging app and such, but not so useful if you want to scroll using the touch screen. If I play around with the z-hinge a bit, sometimes it starts working -- which sounds like the same thing that you described.
Sorry, I just seen your post but I never fixed mine as I went ahead and bought another phone (Evo) but I did research the problem quite extensively and the problem I believe lies in the ribbon that connects the two halves of the phone. If I remember correctly the motherboard is in the side with the keyboard and that's why when it's slide out, the touch screen won't respond correctly. You can find the part online and replace it yourself. I've taken mine apart and it's not that hard but as said, you need the right tools and to be very careful.
Hi guys
I have tried all the above
Last resort is i got sprite backyup to work
BUT HOW THE HELL DO YOU HIT "NEXT" OR "OK" FROM THE KEYBOARD AS SCREEN DOESNT WORK????

Hey! Ive made some research and i think its a common problem on DHD, i mean i have to really push it so hard to work , im sure its hardware, i just cant give my DHD for warranty as its over, so i was looking if anyone knows how i can actually fix this thing :S
I'm not allowed to post links cuz i'm new..
but if you search google you can easily find a new volume button for your DHD.
dhd volume button
I just ordered new DHD volume button on htcrepairparts.com for 9.9USD. I will take photos when it arrives.
Any idea on how to install it? I couldnt find instructions on the web.
i have the same problem with the volume up button. It could be hardware.. since it has problems in recovery too. It's working tho.. but VERY HARD to press.
I think there is a video on YouTube to how disassemble desire hd . Plz use it and see of u can fix the buttons . Ill be waiting later
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

i had exactly the same problem but somehow solved. it is not purely a hardware problem. i figured out that, there is a connection between proximity sensor and vol. buttons. its something about proximity sensor but i can't really tell you, i couldn't understand the reason exactly, maybe a driver issue. if you are using custom rom, try formatting(not wiping, full format) cache-system-data, wipe dalvik cache and install a stock rom(or cwm backup). then install custom rom again.
also you can try tapping proximity sensor while your button is not working. mine started to work after tapping several times(than broke again of course). after that experiment, i thought proximity sensor is somehow blocks vol buttons.
Please can any one help.
My touch screen broke and riht now there is no way I can afford to get it fixed. I got an idea to buy a blue tooth keyboard witha touch pad and bang I was back in business. Now I could use it as a little home entertainment system.
About 2 weeks ago videos would randomly skip, volume would go up and down, apps would close and others open randomly. I did the show touches in settings and wow litterally all along the cracks you can see gost touches all the time. I asked once before for help and someone suggested flashing a blank driver for the touchscreen. I know I dont have the skill to try and take it to pieces and after a month I still cant seem to find a way to make this go away.
Soncould someone please help me out a kind dev who knows something so I could just flash a zip and boom no mpre touchscreen..
Thanks
